INTRODUCTION
You know what to do. You just don’t stick to it. Whether it’s waking up early, cutting out porn, or hitting the gym — building good habits is hard. But it doesn’t have to be. These are the 7 best apps MenTools recommends to leverage your time.
1. STOIC – DAILY REFLECTION & MINDSET TRACKER
Stoic is a journaling app built around the ancient philosophy of stoicism. It gives you a calm space to track your thoughts, mood, and daily habits with structure and intention.
Each day, it prompts you with questions like “What are you grateful for?” or “What challenge will you face today?” It also includes emotion tracking and breathing exercises to help regulate stress.
Use it to stay grounded. Most men let thoughts pile up and explode later. Stoic gives you a daily reset button, helping you stay consistent and level-headed as you build better habits around mindset, sleep, and focus.
2. MANHABIT – MASCULINE HABIT TRACKER
ManHabit is a no-nonsense habit tracker made specifically for men. It includes pre-loaded masculine routines like cold showers, morning sun, journaling, gym, etc.
It’s clean, simple, and gives you streaks, reminders, and a visual dashboard of your wins. You check off your habits each day and build a streak you won’t want to break.
If you want something that focuses only on core masculine habits — without ads, fluff, or overcomplication — this is the one. It gives you structure and discipline with zero distractions.
3.STREAKS – BUILD A DAILY STREAK
Streaks is a top-rated habit tracker that turns your routines into a visual game of momentum. You can track up to 12 habits at once, with custom reminders, icons, and timers.
The design is minimal and addictive. Each time you complete a habit, your streak gets longer. Miss a day? You break the chain.
It’s ideal for guys who need visual proof they’re on the right track. Streaks builds accountability in the simplest form possible — don’t break the streak.
4. (NOT BORING) HABITS – GAMIFIED ROUTINE BUILDER
(Not Boring) Habits is a gamified app that turns habit-building into something fun. You set a habit and a goal, then level up as you complete it daily. The design feels like a game — not a chore list.
You can set challenges like “Read 5 pages” or “Push-ups before bed,” and the app rewards you with XP and momentum stats. It also adds pressure with countdowns if you’re close to missing a streak.
If you’ve tried other habit trackers and got bored, this app keeps things fresh. It works especially well for competitive minds who want a dopamine boost from doing the work.
5. GRIT – TRACK DISCIPLINE, NOT JUST HABITS
Grit is a discipline tracker that focuses on mental toughness over productivity. Instead of just checking off tasks, it asks you to rate how well you did each one — and why you missed it if you failed.
It includes weekly reviews, mindset scores, and even journaling prompts to reflect on what’s holding you back. This app helps you build internal discipline by calling out your own excuses.
If you want a serious upgrade from basic habit apps, Grit will push you harder. It’s more than a tracker — it’s a mirror for your effort.
6. DAYS SINCE – STAY OFF BAD HABITS
Days Since is a minimalist app that tracks how long it’s been since your last slip-up. Whether it’s porn, junk food, smoking, or arguing with your girlfriend — it counts the days and shows your progress.
There’s no complicated setup. Just enter what you’re quitting, and it tracks your clean streak in real time. If you relapse, hit reset and start again.
It’s perfect for guys trying to quit something and needing a clear reminder of how far they’ve come. One glance keeps you accountable.
7. DAY COUNT – VISUAL COUNTDOWN TO GOALS
Day Count is a goal-tracking app that works by counting down to specific dates. Whether it’s a holiday, a deadline, or a 30-day challenge — you can see exactly how long you’ve got left.
You can colour-code your goals, add widgets to your phone screen, and set motivational reminders. It helps you visualise the finish line so you stay committed.
Use Day Count for fixed-time habits or targets. It’s a psychological trick — when the end is in sight, you’re more likely to finish strong.
8. MENTOOLS CHALLENGES (BONUS)
MenTools Challenges helps men build stronger habits through structured 7-day challenges that turn consistency into progress. Each challenge gives you simple, specific daily actions that make sticking to good habits easier, helping you stay disciplined and accountable every day.
It works by turning habit-building into something actionable and trackable. Every challenge records your completions, tracks your MaxOut, and levels you up as you follow through. You can go solo or invite friends to compete, keeping you consistent through accountability and structure.
MenTools Challenges improves habits by including 7-day challenges specifically designed to help men stick to their good routines, eliminate vices, and stay consistent. The actions inside each challenge are the highest-leverage habits for growth. Simple, effective and no fluff.
